The number of cats that you have is; 27 cats

<h3>How to calculate algebra word problems?</h3>

Let the number of cats alice has be x.

Since you have thrice the amount of cats that alice has, then you have 3x cats.

Bob has 7 less cats than you. Thus, bob has; 3x - 7

If they have a total of 56 cats, then;

x + 3x - 7 + 3x = 56

7x - 7 = 56

7x = 56 + 7

7x = 63

x = 63/7

x = 9

Thus, number of cats you have = 3x = 3 * 9 = 27 cats

At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month at the gym costs $20. At another gym, it costs $4 to startup,
mart [117]

Answer:

In 4 months the cost of both gyms will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we need to model the function to calculate the cost of the 2 gyms.

Slope-intercept equation of linear function

f(x)=mx+b

where

m\rightarrow slope of line

b\rightarrow y-intercept

Let linear function to calculate total cost of gym be:

c(n)=mn+b

where

c\rightarrow total cost of gym

m\rightarrow cost per month (slope)

n\rightarrow number of months

b\rightarrow start-up fee (y-intercept)

For Gym 1

m=20 , b=12

c(n)=20n+12

For Gym 2

m=22 , b=4

c(n)=22n+4

In order to find the number of months the cost of both gyms will be the same, we need to equate both functions and solve for number of months (n)

20n+12=22n+4

\\\textrm{Subtracting 22n from both sides}\\20n-22n+12=22n-22n+4\\-2n+12=4\\\textrm{Subtracting 12 from both sides}\\-2n+12-12=4-12\\-2n=-8\\\textrm{Dividing both sides by -2}\\\frac{-2}{-2}n=\frac{-8}{-2}\\n=4\textrm{ months}

So,

In 4 months the cost of both gyms will be the same.

An airplane flew 4 hours with a 25 mph tail wind. The return trip against the same wind took 5 hours. Find the speed of the airp
balu736 [363]

Answer:

r  = 225 Mil/h     speed of the airplane in still air

Step-by-step explanation:

Then:

d  is traveled distance   and r  the speed of the airplane in still air

so the first equation is for a 4 hours trip

as  d = v*t

d  =  4 *  ( r  + 25)    (1)          the speed of tail wind  (25 mil/h)

Second equation the trip back in 5 hours

d  =  5  * ( r  - 25 )    (2)

So we got a system of two equation and two unknown variables  d  and

r

We solve it by subtitution

from equation (1)     d  =  4r  + 100

plugging in equation 2

4r  + 100  = 5r -  125    ⇒   -r  =  -225     ⇒    r  = 225 Mil/h

And distance is :

d  =  4*r  +  100         ⇒ d  =  4 * ( 225)  +  100

d  =  900 +   100

d  = 1000 miles

choli [55]

Answer:

636.3 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder= pi × radius² × height

3.142 × 20.25 × 10 = 636.255 rounded to the nearest one decimal place is 636.3

Have a nice day.
